Mobile engagement seminar

Seminar

23 March 2016

The mobile phone is the most widely used communications tool in existence. By 2020 there will be 6.1 billion smartphone users – more than double the 2.6 billion users recorded in 2014. So how is mobile changing the ways in which charities are engaging with their audiences?

With case studies from Coram, The Ramblers and the National Ugly Mugs network, at this event we explored how charities are responding – from getting the basics right, such as designing emails and websites that work well on mobile, to developing innovative new ways to engage with supporters and service users.
